Since writing my last blog, the Parish Council have put up notices at the three places where they have placed traffic cones. In brief, the notices explain where and why they have been placed, they are on loan from County Highways, they will remain in place for the foreseeable future and the situation will be monitored by the Parish Council. I have also been made aware, the kerbside cones I photographed and included in my last post have, in the main, been put there by a contra

Staycation is a relatively new word, used for holidays taken in your homeland which for us is the UK. Last year, with Covid restrictions on travel, we saw an increase in those taking staycations, resulting in an influx of tourists to the village. Arriving and finding the car park full, they looked to parking on the side streets.

The weather has been glorious, it seems a shame to be indoors when we can always find plenty to do outside.

What an enjoyable time we had last week with our family. During their time with us, channels were dug on the beach each day, a trip taken on the Poppy Line train, we walked inland and along the disused rail track and cliff tops, played on the sports field, drove to Horsey to see the seals, ate fish and chips at Bacton, stopped for ice-creams and lollies, went crab fishing off Cromer Pier and BBQ’d in the garden. After cooking for just the two of us for so many years, catering
